Baby's size: Large Eggplant, 15+ inches long weighing about 2.5lbs.
Baby's Development: Babies are still practicing their tricks like blinking, breathing, coughing, hiccupping. They should also move head down soon. Ali & Sadie are breach and Ray is transverse. Thankfully they are C-section but we still want them to be in the right position to reduce complications.
Gender: It has been confirmed, (2) girls, Ali & Sadie and (1) boy, Ray.
Weight gain: 53 and still have 7 weeks. I might go over my 60lbs... Really hope not though.
Stretch marks: Yes, and now I have something (I think) called PUPP which is an itchy rash on my lower stomach along my little vein stretch mark things. I am in the process of trying all kinds of home remedies. Next is Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap and drinking V8.
Belly button in or out: Out!
Wedding ring on or off: Half on, I am wearing my wedding band.

Sleep: Not much of that stuff. Not sure I will get any from here until maybe next year???
Symptoms: Ligament pain is still there and I have a feeling it will be until I deliver these kiddos. I still have the heartburn and just overall discomfort. My PUPP rash is probably the most annoying thing I have experienced to date. So itchy!
Food cravings: I like ice cream but I also like just about anything!

Food aversions: Nothing specific.
What I miss: Feeling that my body is my own and being a size that is manageable. I am large and no longer fit in some booths.

Movement: Babies are very active still. They are kicking and flipping. They rub my belly now instead of just kicking. The girls have taken to kicking my bladder too.
Mood: my mood is good. We are counting down and I now feel accomplished everyday I am at work! I know I'm tough but I really expected to be on bed rest by now so u feel good.
Best moment this week: I got to help a friend improve herself with just a little encouragement as well as some good conversations with old friends. I also had pedis with mom which is always awesome!

Looking forward to: Kyle has a diaper party Saturday. I think the boys will have lots of fun. Just an excuse to hang out and drink!
The dresser/changing table is here! We just have to put it together, maybe tomorrow.
A co-worker was so nice to grab the light and bookshelves from IKEA for me. I need to paint the shelves then hang them. Hope Kyle can handle that.
OH I had PUPPP with my twins and Grandpa's Tar Soap was my savior. Seriously, I took three cold showers a day and scrubbed with a loofa and in a few days it was gone almost. I still had to keep up with 2 showers a day. I'd rinse off with cold water, shut the shower off and then scrub and then rinse off quick again. You'll smell like a campfire but it is so worth it and brings such relief. I hope it works for you. PUPPP made me miserable until the tar soap worked. BTW, you look so cute and are doing such a great job cooking those three!
